The contractor shall take the form to the ACH Coordinator at the financial institution that maintains its company's bank account. The contractor shall discuss with the ACH Coordinator how the. payment identification information (addendum record) will be passed to them once the payment is received by the financial institution. To ensure that adequate payment information will be available to the contractor, the contractor should inform the financial institution that the addendum record must not be stripped from the payment. Further information concerning the addendum is provided at Attachment The ACN Coordinator should fill out the " Financial Institution ~Information" portion of the form and return it to the Office of the controller at the following address: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Division of Accounting and Finance, Financial Operations Section, Mail Stop T-9-H-4, Washington, DC 20555, ATTN: ACH/ Vendor Express.

Criteria for recognizing contractor organizational conflicts of 62009.570-3 interest. (a) General. Two questions wili be asked in determining whether actual or (1) potential organizational conflicts of interest exist: Are there conflicting roles which night bias an (i) offeror's or contractor's judgment in relation to its work for the NRC7 i

May t'he offeror or contrac< tor be given an uniair (ii) .. competitive advantage based on the performance of-the contract? i NRC's ultimate determination that organizational conflicts of interest exist will be made in light of common sense and good business.While it f?)

The following situations or (b)- 9 relationships rmy give rise to organizational-conflicts of intere The offeror or contractor shall disclose information, that (1 may give r;se _to organizational conflicts of interest under the foll for the requirement, being performed, the period of-performance, and the name and telephone number for a point of contact at the organization knowledgeable about the commercial contract. Where the offeror or_ contractor provides. advice and (i) reconnendations to the NRC in the same technical area where it is also providing consulting assistance to any organization regulated by the NRC. -(ii) Where the offeror or contractor provides advice to the NRC on the same or similar matter on which it'is also providing assistance to any organization regulated by the NRC. _ (iii) Where the offeror' or contractor evaluates its= own products or scrvices,'or has been substantially involved in the-development or marketing of the products or services of another-entity.- Where the award of a contract would result in placing .(iv) the offeror or contractor in a conflicting role in which its judgment may be biased'in relation to its work for the NRC, or would result _in'an unfair competitive advantage for the offeror or contractor. Where the offeror or contractor 30'licits or performs (v) work at an applicant or. licensee site while perfreming work in the same technical _ area fer the NRC at the samq site. The contracting officer may request specific information (2) from an offeror or contractor or may require special contract clauses such as

provided in (2009.570-5(b) in the following circumstances:

(i)' Where the offeror or contractor: prepares specifications that are to be used in competitive procurements of products _or services covered by the-specifications. Where the offeror or contractor prepares. plans _for = (ii) -specific. approaches or methodologies that are to be incorporated-into competitive procurements using the"apprba'ches or' "" *

• 4 methodologies.

(iii) Where the' offeror or contractor is granted access to information not available to _the public concerning NRC plans, policies,'or programs that could form the basis for a later procurement action. (iv) Where the offeror or contractor-is granted access.to proprietary information of its competitors. Where the award of a contract might resulb in placing (v) the,pfferor or contrac4r in a conflicting role in which its judgment may be biased in relation to its work for the NRC or might result in an unfair _ competitive advantage for the offeror or contractor. w (c) Policy aoolication cuiding. The following examples are A s illustrative only and are not intended to identify and resolve all contractor organizational conflict of interest situations. e (1)- (1)- Example. The ABC Corp., in response to a Request-For Propo:al (RFP), proposes to undertake certain analyses of a reactor component as called for in'the RFP. The ABC Corp. is one of sseveral companies considered to be technically well qualified. In response to the inquiry in the RFP, the ABC Corp._ advises that it is currently performing similar analyses for the reactor-manufacturer, (ii) CuidancA. An NRC contract for that particular work normally would not be awarded to'the ABC Corp. because the company would be placed in a position. in which its judynt could be biased in relationship to its work for the NRC. Because there are other well-qualified companies available, there would be no reason- 'for considering a waiver of the policy. (2) (i)- _ Examole. -The ABC Corp., in response to an RFP, proposes to; perform certain analyses _of a< reactor component that is unique to one type of advanced reacter. -As is the case with other technically qualified companies responding to the RFP,-the ABC' Corp. is performing various orojects for several different t None of the ABC Corp. projects have any utility clients. Based on the NRC relationship to the-work called' for in the RFP. evaluation, the ABC Corp. is considered to be the best qualified company to perform the work outlined in the RFP. An NRC contract normally could be awarded (ii) Guidansg. to the ABC Corp.-because no conflict of interest exists which h

could motivate bias with respect to the work. An appropriate clause would be included in the contract to preclude the ABC Corp. from subsequently contracting for work with the private sector that could create a conflict during the performance of the NRC For example, ABC Corp would be precluded from the contract. performance of similar work for the, company developing the advanced reactor mentioned in the exampic. The ARC Corp., in responsJ to a competitive (3) (1) Examole. RFP, submits a proposal to assist the NRC in revising NRC's guidance documents on the respiratory protection requirements of ABC Corp. is the only firm determined to be 10 CFR Part 20. ABC Corp. has performed substantial work technically acceptable. for regulated utilities in the past and is expected to continue similar efforts in the future. The work has and will cover the writing, implementation, and administration of compliance respiratory protection programs for nuclear power pla s. (ii) Guidance. This situation would place the firm in a role where its judgment could be biased in relationship to its Because the nature of the required work is work for the NRC. vitally important in terms of the NRC's responsibilities and no reasonable alternative exists, a waiver of tha po1ity, in may be warranted. Any waiver must be accordance with $2009.570-9 fully documented in accordance with t:.e waiver provisions of this policy with particular attention to the establishment of protective mechanisms to guard against bias. (4) (1) Examnle. The ABC Corp, submits a proposal for a new system to evaluate a specific reactor component's pa formance for the purpose of developing standards that are important to the NRC The ABC Corp. has advised the NRC that it intends to program. sell the new system to industry once its practicability has been demonstrated. Other companies in this business are using older s);tems for evaluation of the specMic reactor component. (ii) Guidance. A contract could be awarded to the ABC Corp. if the contract stipulates that no information produced under the contract will be used in the contractor's priveto activities unless this information has been reported to the NRC. Data on how the reactor coa.ponent performs, which is reported to the NRC by contractors, will normally be disseminated by the NRC lihen the to others to preclude an unfair competitive advantage, NRC furnishes information about the reactor component to the con-tractor for the performance of contracted work, the information n.ay not be used in the contractor's private activities unless the information is generally available to others, rurther, the contract will stipulate that the contractor will inform the_ NRC contracting officer of all situations in which the information, developed about the performance of the reactor component under the 6 contract, is proposed to be used. (5) (i) Example. The ABC Corp., in response to a RFP, proposes to assemble a map showing certain seismological features

of the Appalachian fold belt. In accordance with the 62009.570-3(b)(1)(1),ABCCorp. representation in the RFP and Informs the NRC that it is presently doing seismological studies for several utilities in the eastern United. States, but none of the sites are within the geographic area contemplated by the NRC study.' ' W (11) Guidance. The contracting officer would normally conclude that award of a contract would not place ABC Corp. in a Section conflicting role where its judgment might be biased. 2052.209-73(c) Work for Others, would preclude ABC Corp. from accepting work which could create a conflict of interest during g the term of the WRC contract. (6) (1) Examnle. AD Division of ABC Corp., in response to a l RFP, submits a proposal to assist the NRC in the safety and environmental review of applications for '.tcenses for.1pc construction, operation, and decommissioning of fuel cycle facilities. ABC Corp is divided into two separate and distinct divisions, AD and BC. The BC Division performs the same or similar services for industry. The BC Division is currently pro-viding the same or similar services required under the NRC's contract for an applicant or licensee. (ii) Guidance. An NRC contract for that particular work The AD Olvision could be would not be awarded to the ABC Corp. placed in a position to pass judgment on work performed by,the BC Division, which could bias its work for NRC. Further, the Cc"lict of Interest provisions apply to ABC Corp and not to If, no separate or distinct divisions within the company. reasonable alternative exists, a waiver of the policy could be sought in accordance with 52009.570-9. ( EXAMPLE The ABC Corp, completes an analysis for NRC of steam 7(1) 0 Three generator tube leaks at one of a utility's six sites. months later, ABC Corp. is asked by this utility to per.Nri the same analysis at another of its sites. x (ii) GUIDANCE (2052.290-73(c)(3) would prohibit the contractor from beginning this work for the utility until one year after completion of the HRC work at the first site. EXAMPLE ABC Corp. is assisting NRC in a major on-site 8(t) analysis of a utility's redesign of the common areas between its The contract is for two years with an estimated twin reactors. Near the completion of the NRC work, ABC value of $5 million. r,orp. requests authority to solicit for a $100K contract with the ABC same utility to transport spent fuel to a disposal site. Corp. is performing no other work for the utility. (ii) GUIDANCE The Contracting Officer, would allow the contractor to proceed with the solicitation because A) it is not in the same technical area as the NRC work and B) the potential for technical bias by the contractor because of financial ties to ~ ~

~ the utility'is slight due to.the relative value of the two contracts. 9(1) EKAMPLE The ABC. Corp. is constructing a turbine building and The contract with the _ installing new turbines at a reactor site. . utiliff is fer five years' and has a total value of $100 million.. e . ~.. ABC Corp. has responded to an NRC Request for Proposal requiring-the contractor to participate-in a major-team-inspection unrelated .to the turbine work _at-the same site. The estimated value of the-contract is $75K. (ii) GUIDANCE An NRC contract would not normally be awarded to ABC Corp. since these factors create the potential for financial loyalty to the utility that may bias th: technical judgment of the contractor. (d)- Other considerations. 4 (1)- The fact that the NRC can identify and later avoid, eliminate, or neutralize any potential organizational conflicts arising from the performance of a contract is not relevant to a determination of the existence of conflicts prior to the award of a contract. (2)' It is'not relevant.that the contractor has the professional - reputation of being able to resist temptations which arise from organizational conflicts of interest, or that a follow-on procurement is not involved, or -that a contract is awarded on a competitive.or a sole source basis. 62009.570-4 Representation. (a) The following procedures are designed to assist the NRC contracting officer in determining whether situations or relationships exist which may constitute organizational conflicts of. interest with respect to a particular offeror or contractor. = The procedures -apply to small purchases

meeting the. criteria etated in the following paragraph (b) of. this section.

1 (b) The organizational Monflicts.of interest representation provision at-52052.20g-7t must be incMed in solicitations and unsolicited proposals, '(including-those for task ornrs and modifications for new work) for: _- (1)' Evaluation services;or activities; -(2)' Technical consulting and management support services; '(3) Research; and l ._ (4). 10the6continctual'situationswherespecialorganizationa. conflictssof-interest provisions are noted in the solicitation and would be

i (c)- The offeror may, because of actual or. potential organizational 4 conflicts of interest, propose to exclude specific kinds of work contained in 'a RFP unless the RFP specifically prohibits the exclusion. Any such proposed exclusion by an offeror will be considered by the NRC in the evaluation of proposals. If the NRC considers the proposed excluded work to be an essential or integral part of the-required work and its exclusion would be to the

• detriment ~of"the tempet~itive' posture'of the other offerors,* the NRC shall w. " "

+ 4. _ reject the proposal as unacceptable. (d) The offeror's failure to execute the representation required by 4 paragraph (b) of this section with respect to an= invitation for bids is-considered to be a minor informality. The offeror will be pemitted.to 1 +- correct the omission. j 52009.570 Contract clauses. ] (a) General contract ci m a. All contracts and small purchnes of the i l types set forth in $2009.570-4(b) must include the clause entitlei,i ' Contractor Organizational.

If it it determined from the nature-of the proposed contract that an organizational conflict of interest I exists, the contracting officer may determine that the conflict can be 4 avoided. or, after obtaining a waiver in accordance with (200g.570-g, l i neutralized through the use of an appropriate special-contract clause. If i appropriate, the offeror may negotiate the terms and conditions of these I clauses, including the extent and time period of any restriction., These j clauses include but are not limited to L (1) Hardware exclusion clauses which7 prohibit the acceptance of l-production contracts following a related non-production contract previously . performed by the contractor, e i (2) Software exclusion clauses; (3) Clauses which require the contractor (and certain of its key . personnel) to avoid certain organizational conflicts of interest;' and Clauses which provide for protection of confidential data f_ and guard aga(4) . inst its_ unauthorized use. l $2009.570 Evaluation, findings, a'nd contract award. The contracting officer shall evaluate all relevant facts submitted by an offeror and other relevant information. After evaluating this information against the. criteria of $2009.570-3, the-contracting officer shall make a ' finding of whether organizational conflicts of interest exist with respect to a particular offeror. If it has been determined that real or potential conflicts of interest exist, the contracting officer shall: _(a) Disqualify the offeror from award; (b)- Avoid or eliminate such conflicts by appropriate measures; or 4 1 '4 ' ,~ ~ f

(2009.570-8 Subcontracts. The contracting officer shall require offerors _and contractors to submit a representation statement from all subcontractors (other than a supply subcontractor) and consultants performing services in excess of $19,000 in accordance withol2009.570-4(b). The contracting officer shall require the contractor to include contract clauses in accordance with (2009.570-5 in consultant agreements or subcontracts involving performance of work under a prime contract. (2009.570-9 Waiver. (a) The contracting officer determines the need to seek a waiver for specif'ic contract awards, with the advice and concurrence of the program office director and legal counsel. Upon the recommendation of the Procurement Executive, and after consultation with legal counsel, the Executive Director for Operetions may waive the policy in specific csses if he detemines that it is in the best interest of the United States to do so. (b) Waiver action is strictly limited to those situations in whicht (1) The work to be performed under contract is vital to the NRC program. (2) The work cannot be satisfactorily performed except by a contractor whose interests give rise to a question of conflict of interest. (3) Contractual and/or technical review and surveillance methods can be employed by the NRC to neutralize the conflict. (c) For any waivers, the justification and approval documents must be placed in the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 t Street, NW. (tower Level), Washington -DC. (2009.570-10 Remedies. In addition to other remedies pemitted by law or contract for a breach of the restrictions in this subpart or for any intentional misrepresentation or intentional nondisclosure of any relevant interest required to be provided for this section, the NRC may debar the contractor from subsequent NRC contracts.

Vol:me 3, Part 1 - Publications, Mail, and Inf;rmatio2 Disclosure Unclassified Contracer and Grantee Publications in tha NUREG Series Handbook 3.8 Part V Reviews. (F) Peer (1) Books published by NRC must undergo peer review by experts within and outside NRC. Peer review refers to a critical evaluation of the technical contents of a publication. These raiews may be conducted anonymously by reviewers from the author's own or a related field who are totally independent of the work leading to the manuscript. (a) Reviewers should be chosen by the NRC office sponsoring the book from the potential audience for the publication and should proside an independent judgment about whether the publication successfully accomplishes the author's aims. Peer reviewers should be chosen for their expertise in the subject maner of the book. They may come from academia, the national laboratories, other Federal agencies, or from other research institutes or consulting firms. They may be identified from the membership rolls of professional societies, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) subcommittees, and the like. Do not choose more than one reviewer from the same organization. (b) When assessing potential peer reviewers, screen for demonstrated competence and achievemens in a specific discipline or research specialty. Assess competence based on the quality of research accomplished, publications in refereed journals, and other significant technical activities, achievements, and honors. Consider the judgment, perspective, and objectivity of reviewers. Consider also the personal integrity of those selected to ensure the confidentiality of information reviewed. Finally, avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest. Do not choose reviewers who are licensees or consultants to licensees, nor reviewers from intervenor groups, l.ikewise, do not choose reviewers who may profit financially from influencing the information leviewed. (c) The services of reviewers from outside the agency may be acquired through consultant services contracts. The decision as to whether to reimburse peer reviewers should be made on a case-by-case basis, however. Recognize that reimbursing peer reviewers may give the appearance of a conflict of interest, suggesting to some that because NRC is paying for this service, the agency will seek only reviewers thought to be favorably disposed to the material reviewed. One way to offset this impression is to seek recommendations for peer reviewers from independent organizations, such as the American Physics 1 Approved: June 17,1991 i 22 (Revised: July 9,1995) l

CONTRACTOR SPEND!NG PLAN - INSTR'UCTIONS The Contractor Spending Plan (CSP) is an important inol for projecting and tracking contract costs and progress each task under the contract. Applicability The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that the CSP be completed for cost reimbursement contracts when the award amount is expected to exceed $100,000 and the wariod of performance is expected to exceed 6 months. For task oroer type contracts, a CSP is reoutred when an individual cost reimbursement task order _is expected to exceed the above thresholds. When a contract or task order modification increases the contract or task orcer amnunt of a cost roimbursement contract or task order to over $100.000 and the paried of performance from the ef fective date of the modification to the contract or t.isk order expiration exceeds 6 months, a CSP is recuireo for all contract work to be performed af ter the effective date of the madif' etion. $bbmission 1. A CSP is required: as part of the cost proposal for a cost reimoursement contract or a. individual task order, or modification to a contract er tasi, orcer which meets the above thresholdst b. as part of the Best and Final Offer (if reouestd) as a result of negotiations; 2. Uposted CSP information is required on a monthly basis or as approved by the CO as part of the " Financial Status Report" (Ref: Section F.3, " Financial Status Report"). Fomat The attaened CSP sample format may be duplicated and used by the Contractor, or modified to permit more accurate reporting or to meet other needs of the j contractor. For instance, the sample format provides spaces to report I projected costs for 12 months, but the contractor may wish to alter the i sample format for shorter or longer contract / task order periods. The contractor may also wish to alter the sample format for ease of typing or a automated production. So long as complete information is provided on actual and projected costs or accomplishments, changes te the fomat to improve relevance to the circumstances are encouraged. It is up to the discretion of the offeror to determine the appropriate level-of cost detail to be presented baseo on the complexity of the effort. This plan reflects only the minimum requirements for submission of cost details b which will be considered for completeness, reasonableness, and as a measure of effective management of the effort. The Contracting Officer reserves the rignt to request additional cost information, if deemed necessary.
